Can I use 45mm Olfa blades in my 45mm Fiskars handle?
This might be a silly question but it's the first time I've had to buy replacement blades since I bought it and I'm having a hard time finding Fiskars.

I don't think that it makes any difference...
45mm is 45mm

I think so. I used to use a fiskars all the time, I now have an ergonomic cutter and use olfa blades in them. I was about to shout a roaring "Yes" but maybe there is something on the inside center of the blade that is different.

Yes you can.....simple as that....

I would think that the 45mm unless it's different would be universal. I am going to find out soon myself(I ordered some blades for my Olfa that aren't ofla)
Intresting question, will be watching this.

Thanks for the feedback.
I figured that the 45mm part would be the same. I just didn't know if the middle hole was a proprietary shape between brands, forcing you to continue buying their brand.

I've used the Olfa blades in several different kinds of cutters that weren't Olfa.

I always buy what is on sale, never a problem. Lately, I have seen some used in scrapbooking cutters that seemed like a plastic flange had been attached, and I doubt if they would work.

not a silly question at all, I just asked it the other day. The lady at the cutting counter said they're all interchangable and answered yes when I asked if she was a quilter LOL.

Moonpi, thanks for that! My DH just gave me a Fiskars from his paper cutting one and I was thinking about trying it.

maybe I'll do an experiment on some scraps and let you all know about the paper one...it's still brand new in the package.
